But that's a lot of conditional phrases here. I prefer to look at the trends of those teams and Barcelona is snowballing for now. They get better every game and they don't give up and are confident that they can win games which seem to be lost already. Two goals against them from Atletico and playing away from home is usually a guaranteed loss as Simeone knows how to manage his team once they are ahead. But how Barcelona fought back is giving an idea of what to expect from them in the last quarter of the season. It all looks very close, but I think the advantage and the momentum that Barcelona has is quite significant.
Barcelona were very good from the very beginning, they had a very good start to the season, then a slight decline and now they are back on top form. First of all, they stand out for their excellent speed and great attacking potential, by the way, this is evident from their statistics - 75 goals scored in 27 matches, for comparison, Real has 59 goals. I like Barcelona more on the field, but the result determines everything in the complex, and Real will not give up so easily.
Barcelona is much more effective than Real Madrid in their attacking paths. They have also scored a lot of goals and Lewandowski is the leader in the top scorers. Also, from what I have seen, the wingers are playing magnificently. Lamine Yamal has made a huge impact on the team. Especially for Barcelona, it is magnificent that such a player has come from the youth academy and they did not spend money on him. They are currently one of the serious candidates for the championship. I think they can be champions by the end of the year.
